So what exactly is the correct way to recondition your battery after installing a new rom? I have been following the Bionix version of recondition below
1. Charge phone completely, leave plugged into power
2. Boot into recovery
3. Wipe battery stats
4. Reboot
5. Remove power cable
6. Drain that sucker all the way
7. Recharge fully
But i see there is some discussion on the proper way, and this one ruining your battery life. What is the actual correct way then?
That's the method I used a few weeks ago. Can't say there was any noticeable improvement, but I've never read that it was the wrong way....

So in all essence... Dont do it! Haha then what is the point of wipe battery stats? Should i still at least wipe it at 100 percent after its charged, and then just use it normally.

The "point" of it is just to get the software to know the upper and lower limits of the battery to it can more accurately determine its current level. It learns the battery level and becomes more accurate over time, but many here flash new ROMs too frequently for it to get the chance. Just use your phone and don't worry about the battery, you will be fine. Leave it on all the time, even at night. Charge it when ever you are idle for any length of time and over night. You can not over charge it and it does not have a memory, but you can certainly shorten its lifespan by deep cycling it. If you think the battery meter is really way off what it should be then clear it first thing in the morning after it has been charging. Also, don't be surprised if you rarely or never see 100%. This is the normal way the charger keeps heat buildup from killing the battery. 97% to 99% after a charge is fine.
Thanks T313C0mun1s7, that's the most sensible advice about the battery I've read in awhile.
should i wipe battery stats i switching from extend. battery to stock. or only when switching roms? when does this matter?
[Also i know this doesn't belong here but my PC is really slow do easiest way is to ask: is there someway to search all my posts at once as they're becoming hard to keep track of ?]

I switched back to my stock battery after my extended died. I wiped battery stats, wiping stats when flashing new roms is recommended.
Wiping battery stats is never really considered an essential thing to do no matter what. It is nice though to do. I suggest it when you start realizing crap battery life on one ROM/kernel compared to the last one. The suggested way is to wipe it after installing a new kernel and as well as when you swap batteries. Other than that, really no need to in my eyes.
I wipe after every new ROM install, period.

This is when I do it also.
Digging up a thread here, didn't want to waste a new one.. But I have the OEM Extended Battery and I tried wiping my battery stats.. Charge full, reboot into recovery, wipe stats, unplug.. After this I noticed that my battery said 93% even tho the charge light was green.. I drained it until it turned off and charged again overnight.. In the AM, light was green, i turned phone on and its still showing 93% even though it was green. Any ideas? Did I lose that 7% forever?
Sometimes wiping the stats causes a bad battery read. A few reboots should get you back on track. If that doesn't work, try a full battery drain then a full charge. Let us know.
Will try that, even tho I kinda did already. I'm hoping with a few battery cycles the problem goes away.. What Im hoping is I don't need to bump charge now every time like I did when I had my inc

I doubt you lost anything. It would be like Spinal Tap having an amp which only went to 9.
I only had to wipe when my battery wasn't decreasing in percentage. After I wiped, it started decreasing like it should. I would think any fast reduction in percentage would be a bad battery.
Are there any proven facts out there that it is really ever necessary to wipe them? It's not like it actually improves battery life am I correct?
as far as wiping battery stats goes.
i have only used it when reconditioning a battery.
ie if you start noticing bad (read: worse that you have been getting) battery life after flashing a new rom or kernel. or just after a time using a standard rom.
what i do is
1 turn the phone off.
2 charge it on AC until it goes green and for an hour afterward.
3 unplug it and wait 30 seconds.
4 plug it back in and repeat step 3 until the light goes from red to green within 20 or so seconds. (this is called bump charging)
5 boot into CWR and wipe battery stats. and let it burn all the way down until it wont even turn on (flashing orange led)
6 charge to full and enjoy your maybe improved battery life.
when wiping battery stats, do i have to do it a few times or no? i wiped battery stats at full and drained battery until it turned off twice.. once wiping the stats with CWR and once, and after a cycle, with the 'battery calibrate' app (made by someone here on xda i believe)..
seems to be working okay i guess, but lets say i have 94%, i reset my phone and it comes back with only 84%.. it appears it's still reading my battery wrong by around 10%. is this normal?
It doesn't happen at every reset, looks like just the first one of the day. I guess I can charge to full, reboot, and charge to full again as a workaround.

i meant to ask this before but I forgot, can anyone try to do that and let me know if it happens to them too or if its just me
Charge with phone on until full then turn it off and charge.. about how long does it stay amber?

Hey all, I did a quick search but didn't find an obvious answer. I've tried quite a few GB Roma on my Thunderbolt and I know it's good to periodically reset battery data through ClockworkMod. I'm looking for a specific order of operations. The following is how I've been doing it. Charge fully, reboot into recovery. Unplug phone. Clear battery info. Shut down phone and plug in until fully charged. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Just download battery calibration from the market. Once your phone is fully charged, wipe battery stats in the application and then unplug your phone and let it die. Then charge your baby back up.
I believe that application won't let you wipe the battery stats until it's fully charged.

Battery Calibration app is the easiest way for clearing battery stats. I notice after after two days I see huge improvement in battery life. Remember after that first full charge and clearing the stats make sure you let your phone die.

... Doesn't batterstats get wiped after a new rom flash anyway

This is a simple way to increase the battery life in cyanogenmod... this worked for me,..
1. Goto cwm and clear the battery stats
2. Charge the phone to 100% (make sure it is 100% by checking the battery status..)
3. NOw allow it to completely discharge ... do not connect the charger until the phone is shutdown automatically...
4. Once the phone turned off due to complete draining of the battery, charge it and use it normally..,
hope it helps
i have a better idea, bring powerbank 5200ma or up, when u go out. ur device will not run out battery even on hard gaming all day long. like i did

is that a battery?? how much is the cost?
is that a battery? yes n no
yes, because it need to be charged
no, because its not a spare battery that u can plug it to ur device
it's a portable charger, in here indonesia it cost me Rp310000 or around $32

And how will wiping battery stats help??? It basically does nothing to improve battery life.

yep, maybe it doesnt help but it work for me
1st charge 100% while phone is on
2nd reboot to cwm n wipe battery stats
3rd turn the phone off then charge it to 100%, cause it will tell u that ur battery isnt full yet (charge it about 20 minutes or more)
4th turn it on while still charging
5th unplug the charger n use ur phone as usual

I'm not trying to argue here, I'm just saying that wiping the stats won't help improving battery life. So if you say so, on what basis?
Anyways, cheers!
not improving battery life but, correcting current battery stats. it happen when u often switch rom n restore from cwm then u feel like ur battery drain more quickly than usual, so i tried the method i post earlier n it works

The battery stat is wiped to calibrate the battery... We may have to calibrate the battery after every rom install..
Sent from my WT19i using xda premium
most people here are changing ROMs...and most of the time people say that some ROMS are a big battery drainer..
some move to other ROMs because they noticed that the battery performance of the ROM they are using is changing..
this happens because all the records on the way we charge are saved on the battery stats..sometimes our battery meter says the wrong information. that is why we have to calibrate our battery...we usually do this by going to CWM and wipe battery stats..
but are we really doing it the right way?
here is my guide to do this in the proper way:
i know some of you are using battery calibration from them the market, but all it does is just delete battery_stats.bin from system..But the truth is, the system is still writing the old battery stats if it's erased online...So the only solution is to delete it through recovery...
this is what you need to do:
1.Install Battery Monitor Widget from Market for Monitoring
2.Charge your phone to 100%
3.When done, restart your phone, but go to CWM recovery
4.Go to advanced -> Delete Battery Stats
5.Reboot, you should get battery about 90-100% (depending how much margin has been wrongly calculated)
6.Open Battery Monitor Widget to monitor the voltages. the maximum voltage is 4200mV for Li-Poly battery. Try to reach that value before disconnecting the charger.
7.Before the voltage graph getting dropped, Disconnect the charger immediately. for me it is stopped at max 4190. your mileage may vary.
8.You're done, your battery is calibrated..
kind regards,
baiclark

Yes, There's no option for wipe battery stats on CWM 6
Only CWM 5 i guess
Guys!! Wipe battery stats is havent nothing to do with battery life!! There is only info about battery drain of every app and time of theses app. Also battery stats are wipe every time when you charge battery above 90% so this function in cwm is practicaly useless.

I tried it already. but i think my battery stat is still wrong. It randomly turn off at 10%
Because this is nothing to do with battery stats. Whats really help me even on non android phones is keep phone on charger even if phone show 100% if this persist battery have bes of life gone.

For sudden drops to 0% Sony Service recommends that you charge the phone to 100%, remove the usb cable and the battery for at least 10 minutes. Return the battery to your device, turn the power back on and put your phone back on the usb charger until it hits 100%.
nice job
good work man. thumbs up...

Just found this method. Testing it now. Anyone tested it? Is it working?
My Ray's battery went from 25% to 1% suddenly.
